Just sent it. Thanks for your effort.

Contact me if you would? Crossroad Press is always looking for more proofers / copy-editors. We pay a small fee (we are a small company) but it's a good variety of books.

Yes please :) How do I contact you?
Is this offer still valid? Or if not what are your fees now? I have a short story of 9600 words that needs polished a little and a longer 60,000 word novel that I am looking around for proofreading for but which is still several weeks from the end of my current round of edits.
I would like to know also if it's still valid. I am writing my first book and just would like some editing feedback to make sure I am on the right track
For whatever it's worth, I sent my book to Flopperstein a little over a month ago and have heard nothing since. I queried her via email a few days ago and have had no response. Hope she's okay.

You need someone you can trust to tell you whether you are going about it the right way, to test your ideas, not your writing. Worry about the mechanics when you have a book you believe in, when the creative buzz is still on you.


Since I'm only starting out. I'll do it for free.
Thank you.
